Guide Bio

I may have been born in the US, but my heart has always been in Israel. I made aliyah (immigrated) in 2004 and realized very quickly that I have a deep passion for sharing my love of Israel with others.

Country of Birth: Dallas Texas
Home in Israel: Mitzpe Yericho, Judean Desert
Favorite Site: The City of David in Jerusalem
Secret Super Power: I can bring to life the hills and mountains, ancient ruins, and even barren desert with history, legends and tales.

Daniel Gutman's Reviews

As seen on TripAdvisor: My wife and i I experienced Israel in terms of people, places and things and in each section, both physical and spiritual. And, before I forget, let me say Daniel and Maier made a wonderful team. In terms of things, the historical adventures and relics observed were amazing. In terms of places, the locations selected for our touring was wonderful. In terms of people, the feeling, the energy of the country is fantastic and with Daniel, each place came alive. His very vivid descriptions and historical context was so astoundingly good. He made the people, places and things literally appear before us. He imbedded each location with its specialness into our brains. And with Maier as driver, we never felt frightened even though Israeli driver are “unique” and some roads and paths were steep, rocky and narrow! This was the very best tour experience Lois and I have ever had. We felt so connected. July 2015

As seen on TripAdvisor: We just returned from a glorious tour of Israel thanks to Shalom Tours. First, the owner, Shalom Stark was always personally available before and during the trip to assist us in any way with any questions or concerns. He directed us on all issues, including cell phone rentals, restaurants, dress codes and more. Secondly, our guide, Daniel G. was truly amazing. He is personable, knowledgeable and extremely interesting. He was always informative from a historical prospective and his delivery was great. We would recommend him wholeheartedly. We toured all over including 6 days in Jerusalem, 2 in Safed and one in Tel Aviv. We also visited Masada, Ein Geti and so much more. We were a small group of 12 from the USA. Additionally, our bus driver Meyer was fabulous. We toured in his smaller luxury bus, which was always clean, on time, comfortable and safe. He, too, was quite knowledgeable and always friendly. Hands up to Shalom Tours, Daniel G. and Mayer!!! July 2015

As seen on TripAdvisor: Shalom helped to make our first trip to Israel wonderful in every respect. From the suggestions on activities, the hotels, the tour intinerary, and everything in between he insured that we had a trip of a lifetime. Our guide Daniel brought a combination of historial, demographic, geographic and religious background and information to life. He is passionate about what he does. Our driver Mayer went above and beyond, insuring we had a safe and comfortable journey. We are looking forward to returning!!! July 2015

As seen on site : My wife and I toured Israel in September 2014 through Shalom Israel Tours and our guide was Daniel. In a word, fantastic. Daniel not only was thoroughly knowledgeable about everywhere we went (historical, archeological, biblical, political) but was just a good guy. He was pleasant to deal with and we really enjoyed his company. How someone in a few days can essentially become a person it feels like you’ve known for years is an amazing talent and Daniel has it in spades. We had a great time and I unreservedly recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a great tour.

As seen on Tripdvisor: This summer, in early July, my wife and I – along with our 10 year old and 7 year old — took a great tour of Israel, planned through Shalom and using one of Shalom’s guides for 6-7 days. We had a fabulous time…the logistics were super smooth, the guide was very knowledgeable, very smart and was great with our kids….making the trip a memorable one and an important one for their Jewish education going forward! We’re so happy we had such a great time and learned so much on our first family trip to Israel — and our children’s first time there ever! Kudos to Shalom and we thoroughly recommend their services!
